So they were each a guest analyst on the radio broadcast for one game in 1984, and Staubach did one more in 2001. Of course, if anyonev listened to the Cowboy games on the radio they were already hard fans and didn’t need that one game from Staubach or Lilly to convert. Only a few players today were even born in 1984.
Even so, the fact that they were able to be guest analysts is something that originated with them being Cowboys.
Second, in order to get many gigs, you have to have experience. Some experience, even if it's little, is better than nothing.
Now I can imagine that if Staubach had wanted to pursue broadcasting, he could have. But he was a big time real estate tycoon. He had his after-football career.
I don't know what the deal was with Lily.
Nevertheless, they got that opportunity. And, believe me, there are many a player and non-sports Joes who would love to have that experience, even if short-lived.
